Interest Checks / Re: [IC] PBS Granite
« Last post by Matt3o on Sun, 13 July 2025, 05:08:24 »
the original Granite included a lot of weird "super" keys (as windows key alternative). We are talking over 12 years ago when the hobby was really driven by the community and it was less mainstream. We had keys like the SGI Graphics, X11 and Wayland, Windows 3.11 logos, we even sneaked in some star wars logos (but don't tell Melissa)... and the 2 Amiga "A".

Over the many releases we changed them a few times but with the increased interest in mechanical keyboards we had to limit their number, because high volumes lead to averaging.

In the meantime I was able to sneak some of those super keys (including the A) into some MT3 sets. It was about the time that Drop decided to go full ballistic with keycaps. They saw the potential and decided to limit the options and concentrate on quantity. They made new official kits and picked the legends and novelties they liked, and those became Drop's de-facto standard. BUT... They did that without consulting me, so they decided to include the Amiga A as well, having no idea what it was (they thought it was a sassy Alt key... or so I was told). So basically every MT3 sets came out with that key and it kinda became canon.

So at this point it has become a sort of Signature keycap and I don't complain about it. The main reason it has been added here is to create a direct reference to the original DSA Granite.

Also what @Piperaceae says is true.

No ISO, no commit :/

Fair play, I appreciate the feedback. Not going to change at this point though.

Cheers!

To top it all off, yesterday when I was tending my tomato plants, I leaned down right onto a cane and hurt my eye. Has been hurting like hell, but at least the eye is OK.

Why are they so stingy with the usbc ports?

How much can these chips possibly cost?

Elden Ring DLC mostly. Not sure I even care about new releases when I haven't even finished all the old ones.

I've been waiting since the DLC released for it to go on sale, so I'm right there with ya on that one
I keep thinking the next major Steam Sale, but it never goes on sale
